About The Local Fork

The Local Fork is a cozy, warm restaurant with a welcoming log-cabin vibe and comfortable, casual ambiance. The food is really good and great, with huge portions. You can’t go wrong with their fried options; the blooming onion is a delicious must-try, and the chicken fried steak is the absolute best with perfect gravy. The menu is extensive with great variety, featuring items like Chicken Ranch Quesadillas, Cajun Chicken Pasta, Monte Cristo sandwich, bacon jam sliders with fresh cut fries, and pinto beans. The buffet and salad bar look like a good choice, with everything appearing piping hot, quite a selection, and fresh items.

Service is phenomenal, fast, kind, and awesome. The staff is sincere, outgoing without being intrusive, very attentive, courteous, accommodating, and happy to help. The atmosphere is clean and homey, often decorated nicely for Christmas. They bring out complimentary cornbread and dinner rolls with creamy butter, and drinks are served in oversized mason jars. While some vegetables can be a touch water logged and bland, the overall experience is wonderful. It is a great little place and a wonderful stop where you will definitely be back.
